Georgia State University: Perimeter College - Dunwoody Campus

"I’ve had a decent experience thus far with all professors except for Barbara Bateman. Stay far away from her. Im my experience with her she clearly she doesn’t care about providing a decent education and it seems she literally just wants us to fail."

"I don't want to give this place anything less than five stars, because I don't want to turn people away from the great professors that are here. However as a person coming back to school for the first time in years to finish undergrad, I have a few things to say: 1.) The advising/registration process is insane. Like, to the point of having to laugh at how ridiculous it is. If anyone has read Kafka's "The Trial", it's basically that. Getting accepted and turning over your information is the easy part. Getting set up for classes though? Dead end after dead end. I end up getting an appointment to meet an advisor. No show. Schedule an online call next. Also, no show. Show up to the advising office just to show my face. They tell me I need to make an appointment online. Nobody at that office is helpful. If you told me that there wasn't anyone actually physically working in there, I would believe you 100%. I ended up just going to my "View Academic Evaluation" on the PAWS portal and checking out what I need to take, then registering on my own. 2.) The Café in the student center should be replaced by a bunch of tables or computer lab. Or they just need to hire a new cashier. The student center is a great place to study and get work done. However, if you decide that you want to eat at the café, especially in the morning, be prepared to feel like a nuisance to the employees. The food is expensive, but it is pretty good. There is one young man in particular who wont even say a word to you when you order. He huffs and puffs over to the cash register to make it as obvious as possible that I'm cutting into his me-time. Then when he takes your order, you'll be lucky if he looks up from his phone even once. The women who cook are actually sweet, and are good at what they do. I just don't understand why they hired somebody who is so cold with a terrible attitude towards customers to be the face of the operation. Must have been a personal favor. 3.) Not a huge deal, but almost every vending machine either doesn't work or is sold out of a lot of things that I want. It's a selfish nit-pick, but whatever. This includes the vending machine in the student center that sells you supplies like scantrons to take tests. Every time I'm in the SC, I see a student struggling to put cash into the vending machine. Not only does this suck, but it also means that those involved with the vending machines at GSU Dunwoody are either incredibly lazy, or they don't like making more money."

"So unorganized one staff team member in Registration. Tell you one thing then turn around another person tells you something else. Everyone is not on One Accord. They wait until after you schedule your classes when time it starts classes then all of a sudden tell you oh yeah you need additional more classes. We not accepting your credit. This should be taking care of in the beginning. When you get a septic to the school and they look over your transcript and put everything in. It took them forever to accept my application more than 25 days.. now they want me to retake two classes that already took with the same cold that they said they take that I took that another school but they won't accept the transfer. They didn't discuss that with me from the beginning for me to be adding on additional classes."

"I've had a great experience here. Very nice professors, great library space. Friendly bookstore workers. Financial aid office has always responded to any questions quickly and efficiently. My experience overall has been great."

"I’m so happy to have accompanied my brother, to Holidays Around the World at GSU. The students were full of energy and passion and the games were loads of fun. We even had a yummy meal after participating in some learning activities."
